[EM] Fwd: Legacy IRV limitations

[Michael Ossipoff]

 Garman says:

"And Burlington undid their repeal.

No other jurisdiction in the US has voted to repeal RCV."

Implementations rejected

Between 1912 and 1930, limited forms of ranked-choice voting (typically
with only two rankings[5]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_United_States#cite_note-:0-5>)
were implemented and subsequently repealed in Florida
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida>, Indiana
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana>, Maryland
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland>, Minnesota
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota>, and Wisconsin
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin>. In the 1970s, it was implemented
and repealed in Ann Arbor, Michigan
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Arbor,_Michigan> following the election
of the city’s first Black mayor in an RCV election.[254]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_United_States#cite_note-:1-254>
[255]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_United_States#cite_note-255>
More recently, it was adopted and repealed in Pierce County, Washington
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierce_County,_Washington> (2006–2009);[6]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_United_States#cite_note-:2-6>
Burlington,
Vermont <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burlington,_Vermont> (2005–2010);[7]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_United_States#cite_note-:3-7>
and Aspen, Colorado <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspen,_Colorado>
(2007–2010).[8]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_United_States#cite_note-:4-8>
It has since been reinstated in Burlington, and Ann Arbor residents voted
to reinstate it as well, with that use likely needing approval from
Michigan’s state legislature.[256]

Next, Mr. Garman, I'll contact the person who mentioned the conference in
which Rob Richie or FairVote promised to stop making the
false-claim...which he or they soon resumed making.

 I'll post more details of the incident as soon as I get them.
